Typically this is because the battery is dead.

As a gun safe technician, I see both of these problems on a regular basis. To ensure the electronic lock on your gun safe keeps functioning properly, here are a few things you need to know. Just need help getting into your safe? Schedule a maintenance visit. We encounter this issue at least once a day. To help you avoid this inconvenience, we recommend replacing your battery once a year. Why does this matter? Because while voltage and amperage are both measures of electrical current, they measure different kinds of electrical current. Voltage measures the pressure of electrons flowing. Amperage measures the volume of electrons. In order for your electric lock to function properly, it must get the right voltage and the right amperage. The same way your car works harder driving up a hill than on a flat road, different locks place different loads on batteries. How your battery performs under a load is determined by its cell design, chemical make-up, and internal resistance. A battery with the wrong amperage can be deceiving because the keypad can still make noise and appear to work normally. It may also cause the lock to make the wrong combination input beeps or tones. This is typically because the lock is powering down and then back up in the middle of the combination entry sequence. We always recommend using Duracell batteries in your electronic lock. #MICROMARK ELECTRONIC SAFE MANUAL CODE#Ĭan it be a pain in the rear to go to the store just for a battery?
